THE CONCEPT ABOUT TIME IS PRECIOUS

Time is precious. It is by far one of the most important commodities in our lives. This is why it is important to treasure every moment and make the best out of things, no matter what.As of late I have been paying more attention to how I spend my time and whom I spend it with. l realized how “careless” and “freely” I have given away my time to people and activities that weren’t worth it.The thing is that I have always been very good about freely offering my time, help, heart and loyalty to anyone who ask for it. It didn’t occur to me that it was OK for me to ask for the same in return. I therefore found myself frequently around people who never seemed to be able to make any effort for me; and at times, didn’t even seem to care about me all that much. This made me an easy target for users or selfish individuals.Taking stock of what I do, how I do it and with whom, has made a huge difference in how I feel. So, when it comes to your time, spend it wisely. A friend recently told me that I should only give my all to someone who is worthy. I think “all” includes one’s time. So today, I am making new choices and these include not giving time to people who give nothing but only seem to remember me when they need or want something from me. Time, it’s precious, as is your heart – choose wisely whom you give them to. Choose people who are worthy of you and your time.My question for you how well have you used your time preciously?

Time is precious. After becoming so sick, I was forced to use my time differently. Like you, I’d been very generous with my time. Some people fell by the wayside when I could no longer give unconditional time. We need to take care of ourselves mentally whether we’re ill or healthy, and how we spend our time is one key to mental health. Great “food for thought” post!

Just my sentiments. Right now? three years alone in the Presence of our Father. What a blessing! Before I lived in Aqaba, Jordan in an apartment hotel. Not really alone. Always running to someone for comfort, but! Father knew of my longing to be alone with Him. Now? I am in Amman, Jordan in a deprived noise area, but! I’m 4 floors above it all. No one disturbs me. Father has blessed me with this roof apartment, and? since my deliverance last week? Father inspired me to use my roof for a walking track. I been doing my walking as His prescription to restore my body. This morning I did 30 min. Father leads me all the way. I talk to Him, I walk with Him, I sleep, eat, and breathe every minute of my life with Him. He is always with me. He never leaves nor forsakes me.
It’s the same for you., but! Like myself it takes His time and timing to bring us to that point where we get disgusted with the human element to the point of abandoning ourselves to Him alone. Then? He sends our way those that can share not the vanities of this insanity ridden world, but share Him–His love–His unbroken companionship and His doings in our lives. That’s how to spend our precious times. Much love, thia. 🙂

This is a great post once again Patrick. I think the way we use our time reflects our maturity. When i was younger I frittered my time away on frivolous things that did’nt serve a greater purpose in my life, and I gave time to friendships, activities that were draining my energy and stealing my time. Now I am older, I am quite intentional with the way I use my time and spend it on purposeful things which add meaning to my life, or help me grow. I also enjoy the time I spend fostering the friendships/relationships that give me joy. Love the wisdom of your posts, bless.

As i went down i saw the second part of your life in this comment as i quote from you:

I am touched by this last comment

Wowza! This is so true. I too give my time far too freely and then find myself irritated, probably at myself. Maybe it’s a “I don’t want to be rude or upset someone” but jeez I think I need to change. In all seriousness, I thank you for this post, it’s made me really think things through. Katie x

Thanks for sharing!… 🙂 I will use “time” as best I can given the type of day and challenges destiny has determined for me… 🙂

You are absolutely right. Time is precious. It’s my holy grail on how to spend my time. The Magic of Not Giving a F*** | Sarah Knight | TEDxCoconutGrove https://youtu.be/GwRzjFQa_Og . It’s the holy grail of how I spend my time.

Each morning I ask the Lord to help me use the time He has given me wisely. It is a gift He has given me and if I use it wisely it is my gift to Him, a way of blessing Him. Give Him the day, follow Him investing time in the timeless, in eternal things and your day will be well spent as we always give Him thanks for His precious gift of which we too are unworthy.

Great post. I agree with the importance of how we spend time. Important for me is to learn to use time better, but also not to regret how I may have misspent some in the past. It is possible to learn something from any time. Take care!

Thanks, Patrick. And good question. I spend most of my time working and creating to make a positive impact, including figuring out how to do that best in harmony with the universal mind. The time with my daughter is most precious though. How about you?

Time is spent with the friends I have. I quit Facebook some months ago. I was hardly on it, but it got even less. I think it was a waste of my time while there and I did not want to be there. Along with Facebook, I don’t have a TV either. Free time to be out in nature, or learn new things.

Yes, time really is precious, yet it is something that we tend to take for granted. Often it’s actually bad things like accidents, health issues or the death of someone close that make us realise how precious time – and life – really is and that we need to value and appreciate it…

Words are powerless to express my gratitude towards you, for reading my every post and for always leaving a thoughtful comment.

Am happy about this comment here, it touched my heart and i feel blessed by it. Here is the part of the post:

Wow great post Patrick! I think that in this day and age some people are becoming very selfish and arrogant and they don’t value other people’s time. So I definitely agree with you that we should spend time with only those who respect our time M

I agree with you Patrick time is a delicate gift that many use as if you are able to redo when it doesn’t work out as he or she wishes. Time travel sounds good but until someone proves it can be done I will continue to see it as only a myth. I spend my precious time reading and writing staying in a positive frame of mind.

Marvellous post! I totally agree with the concept of “Time being Precious.”
I have not always used my time preciously. I too started using it wisely after I realised its importance.
Great post! Thanks for sharing!

Exactly when we take out are precious time for someone then people start taking us for granted and we end up regretting..but even then Patrick you know if you are doing something for someone never expect anything in return..just do things if you feel happy about it😇

Not relevant to this post but you sent me two comments and they both went to my spam folder – found them today and approved them but they’ve disappeared off into the ether somewhere and now I can’t get them back. So sorry and I hope you don’t think that I was ignoring you :O) x

Hi
Thank you. I am happy to see your wonderful comment . It gives me a thoughtful thinking and am happy for that. That is always my intention to see a comment that gives me happiness and motivate me to write more.

What motivated me was this part in your comment:

learning to say no to people who don’t deserve it. I try to spend more time with my loved ones and to things that make me happy.

I really appreciate and respect your opinion on this post. Because your opinion is always valuable to me.

Thank you so much for stopping by and for reading my post. I appreciate your effort very much.

To be transparent, I have not used my time preciously. I’ve allowed others to take me forgranted, and often, I have not been mindful of the moment I am in. These are the most precious to us, and all too often, we are either looking ahead and backwards.

“Having read this I thought it was very enlightening. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this article together. I once again find myself personally spending way too much time both reading and commenting. But so what, it was still worth it!”
